Bitcoin Forum

For those who use Coinbase rates, here is a quick calculator for calculating in INR.

http://coinsecure.in/

It is a Work in Progress and many features will be added over the next few weeks and months to make the app more global. Other Exchange price rates will also be added to accommodate other price rate users.

• Please enter the number of BTC and the Percentage of increase or decrease (ie, -10 or 10).
• Please do not use the '%" symbol.
• Results will be displayed in the pricebar at the bottom of the application.
• The Currency prices are taken from Coinbase and may have a 5 - 10 minute delay.

Please do provide feedback and suggestions. Any other currency requests will also be looked into.

Any updates will be entered in the next thread.

Good one Benson. Much needed one for the community.
Thanks

Thanks for this ;)
But there's a small difference in yours and xe.com's USD/INR rate.
http://preev.com/btc/inr  it's showing correct.

I think preev uses Mt Gox. That should be an option in some time.

Key aim was to add the percentage increaser/ decreaser.

As everyone knows, am a big Coinbase fan, hence they came first.

Oh alright :)

Benson - Another feature request from my end would be for the btc traders on the forum to be able add an image with the current rate (like the auction timer) with the percent increase / decrease sent as a parameter in the URL.

That would greatly help the bitcoin exchange on the forums.

example :
1) [ img ] coinsecure.in/todayinr.gif?conv=1.1 [ / img ] <-- This would show the rates as an image with 10% increase.
2) [ img ] coinsecure.in/todayinr.gif?conv=0.9 [ / img ] <-- This would show the rates as an image with 10% decrease.

Can you gimme a live link to that auction timer gif?

Here you go. Just change the End time in the URL to change the countdown.
https://www.onnit.com/emails/_modules/timer/?end=2013-07-8+18:00:00&dark=1

P.S : Dark and light are the themes. If i remember correctly, the timer is in GMT.

Also, here is the reference article to php on how to accomplish that

http://php.net/manual/en/function.imagestring.php

I was looking at something a bit more elegant like a copy- paste ready text block with the sale/ buy details.
Will try to add a gif as well with the URL params.
I assume that this one will be static and only reflect the price and the increase/ decrease amount and quantity? If static, then why use URL params? Why not just embed the text onto am image and allow that to be linked? Simpler no?

No. It should not be static. If we want static price, then there is no need to go all the way to add an image. Just write it in text (in bold).
Usually when a seller list in the marketplace, he / she would be creating the listing in terms of btc (with rates obviously at a little higher / lower than the current market rate).
As and when the rate fluctuates, the price in the listing should be updated to accomodate the same rather than editing the post everytime the rate changes.

Something similar to localbitcoins. When creating an ad, the way we can quote the rates at (mtgox*1.1).

The same applies to buyers as well. I have seen a few bitcoin image pricing generator sites but none of them has this feature.

Now I get it. Will try to get a fix on it.

Great.! Thank you sir.!

Added an INR image. Should be dynamic. Testing it on this thread.

Great. Thanks benson. How do we alter the parameters.?

Not yet added params.

Sorry mate, was completely busy as ever. Do try this. Will get to formatting and adding some options/ currencies very soon.

Just tried it today, its cool bud :)

Few things, the price in INR should have less decimal places.

And I hate that blue :P

But great work.. keep it up !!!

Cheers

Great work bro, but can you use a transparent background?

Gonna try to pack the final product with options, etc.. so lets see how good it can get

Here is a preview of what can be expected.

Any other options to be added to display on the ticker image?
